Daily Three: June 22

1. Late last week, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Small Business Administration announced that they plan to release the names of businesses that received $150,000 or more in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. The disclosures will include the names of recipients and a dollar range for each loan, such as whether it was between $1 million and $2 million. Precise dollar amounts will not be disclosed. According to press accounts, nearly 75 percent of all loans were for $150,000 or more, so most borrowers would be revealed. How might this affect you, your business, or your reputation? Consider a few perspectives and communication points. Authored by Gary Blackman
